Hotpoint RS778GJ, How To Get The Best

Baking

When cooking   food for the first
time in your new oven, use time
given on recipes as a guide. Oven
thermostats, over a period of years,

 “drift” from the factory setting

and differences in timing between
an old and a new oven of 5 to 10
minutes are not unusual and you
may be inclined to think that the new
oven is not performing correctly.
However, your new oven has been
set correctly at the factory and is
more apt to be accurate than the
oven it replaced.

How to Set Your Range
for Baking

Step 1: Place food in oven, being
certain to leave about 1 inch 
space between pans and walls of
oven for good circulation 

 heat.

Close oven door. During baking,
avoid frequent door openings to
prevent undesirable results.

Step 2: Turn OVEN SET knob to

BAKE and OVEN TEMP knob to

temperature on recipe or in Baking
Guide.

Step 3: Check food for doneness
at minimum time on recipe. Cook

longer   necessary. Switch 

 heat
